Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Wrote this hrs ago but computer went off line as it was sending so I waited to see if letter showed.
After cleaning my 128 last night got out my 2000 Calendar
from England showing antiques. That man had 350 sewing machines. I don't have any room for more.
While in store saw an old machine -owner says it wouldn't sew anymore.I looked at hubby and said my friends could get it working ( 3/4 size ???) and looking pretty. He favored
new stuff.
Hubby broke leg on an extra metal sewing machine bottom today --how come it's survives 101 yrs until he helps me put a wooden table top on it. I could have screamed but it was not the time to complain.
When cabinet for 128 is refinished old stuff will be around it --including me.Friend bought me needle pkg before I had machine.

Well I have just pulled out of a crisis today, my laptop decided to take a dump on me and I have never made a back up DVD yet. It only took from 6am until 3pm this afternoon to get the darn thing booted up. I did 4 system restores on the thing and liked to never found a date that it would work on. But it all happened after I installed my firewall updates. Needless to say I was really scared about loosing my research and all of my records about vintage sewing machines.
But I am good now I just hope I will not have to fight this thing again!

While I backed up my stuff it was about a year ago and I always take a backup of the backup...to be sure, to be sure!!! LOL Had a HDD fail some years ago that was my archive HDD.
Hope you get it all sorted real soon

GO get an external hard drive.... a FreeAgent for example. You can get TBs for like a 100 bucks. Then usb it in and backup your stuff. Do it now...
Oh and I already backed up the OS and all the drivers so I am good there ;)

Speaking of backing up computers. Probably like many others I have ton's of irreplaceable info on my computer and currently use an off-site backup provider (Mozy). I was wondering if this is the best option or if an external drive would be more secure? Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on either option?

I am like you to me its easier to buy a $90 external HD and save it there where I know its safe and I do not have to worry about it coming up missing. And I will be keeping it in my safe which is fire proof so if something bad happens then I will still have it.

Just enough... and not too much... is the trick. (okay, ask me how I know this!!!! lol)

Thanks,
